I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 105

105fury

Similar to before, but different situation.

The Gigant I encountered before was only briefly passed by because our paths overlapped..

Because I didn't come here with this as my goal..

“move fast!”

Jackal immediately gave instructions to his subordinates and told them to activate the Gigant..

The probability of something unpleasant happening is not high, but even so, it was foolish to stand defenseless..

Because there are no absolutes in this world.

Thanks to Abel alerting us to the presence of the quickly approaching Gigant, everyone was able to complete the maneuver in time..

Boom, boom-!

Soon after, the unidentified Gigants approached the area and stopped, and one of them greeted them as a representative..

-hello. My name is Revon de Valheim of the Valheim Knights..

Levon de Valheim.

When Abel heard the name, his head quickly turned..

First of all, there was no such name among the regular knights of the Empire. And even among the places commonly chosen as one of the top three famous restaurants, there is no such name..

But soon the answer came.

‘It's the Northern Knights..’

It was not one family, but several families operating in the name of the Knights Templar..

This couldn't have happened in the past..

But things changed when Gigant became mainstream..

Unless they were from powerful families, there weren't many people who had enough Gigant power to call themselves knights..

Thus, several families joined forces to form the ‘Gigant’ knights..

Abel finished his judgment in an instant, stood up and politely bowed..

-hello. My name is Abel, and I am a cadet at Del Modor Academy..

-iced coffee. You are a cadet at the prestigious Del Modor Academy..

The other person immediately answered in a bright voice..

Since he didn't reveal his last name, you would have guessed that he was a commoner, but his status as a cadet at Del Modor Academy meant he had quite a high name value..

If you graduate successfully, you can become a Gigant Rider and join the empire's powerful knights..

Of course, there are people who look down on you just because you are a commoner, but the bright answer alone makes that less likely..

Abel asked a more bold question..

-yes. What brought you here??

-I came here because I thought you might need some help. But I was worried for nothing..

-Help?

Abel asked in a curious voice..

No matter how I looked at it, it didn't seem like the other person's words were meant to be sarcastic..

To that, Revan answered refreshingly:.

-yes. Because that only happened yesterday..

Abel, who had no way of knowing what was going on, tried to ask again, but Levon opened his mouth in one beat..

-ah. If you're coming back from the inside, you might not know..

-That's right.

-Just yesterday, one of the Gigants belonging to the Earth Knights was completely destroyed, and the other two were also returned with a major destruction..

-Is that true?

This was truly amazing news..

Who are the Knights of the Earth?.

Even though it is not an important area, they are official Gigant Riders who are in charge of one area..

From what I saw when we met briefly before, they all seemed formidable..

-Did a giant appear??

-yes. That's a whopping three.

-three…….

That was enough to deserve the mess the Earth Knights were in..

Because the three giants were by no means easy opponents..

No, it was almost unprecedented for three titans to appear in the Red Hole at the same time..

‘In terms of time, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with touching the remains of the giant..’

It was something I couldn't understand..

Levon spoke calmly as if he was slowly ending the conversation..

-Anyway, please be careful. We are also planning to shorten our original schedule and return immediately..

-yes. Thank you for the valuable information.

So Revan and the other Gigants slowly retreated..

Abel waited for them to completely disappear, then put Gigant down again and came out..

There was no need to keep talking loudly through Gigant..

“I guess I'll have to take the shortest route back..”

The jackal immediately nodded at Abel's words..

“yes. The risk is too high.”

In any given situation, I would force it anyway, but the three giants are opponents that I would not dare to do so..

At my current strength, it would be difficult to even defeat three fragments of a superior titan, let alone three titans..

This was even more so when you consider that the power of even giant gods varies greatly depending on the individual..

“Then, we will prepare to withdraw immediately..”

“yes. please.”

There was no need for a long conversation as our judgments were unanimous anyway..

The mercenaries also came down from the Gigant and immediately packed their luggage, and some people were alert to the surroundings..

Although it was a shame that the soup that didn't even last a sip was thrown away, there was nothing I could do about it..

Abel also got on the Gigant again and roughly stuffed some dried fruit into his mouth..

-depart. Move in reconnaissance formation.

-yes!

Given the situation, we moved in a formation that focused more on reconnaissance..

The plan was to avoid combat as much as possible and quickly retreat to a safe area..

Thump, thump, thump-!

The ground shook loudly as several Gigants started running..

Abel ran about halfway and calculated in his head..

‘The money earned this time…….’

Even in times like this, it was sad to be in a position where I had to consider my profits and losses, but I couldn't help it..

Hiring a mercenary group that uses Gigant is not possible for a penny or two..

‘First of all, there is no loss..’

Even though it wasn't an exact calculation, it was calculated that it was a close loss..

This is because I caught as many as three fragments of a mid-level giant..

It's not that you can't make money at the lower level, but when you get to the middle level, the number of digits changes..

Therefore, it was calculated that there would be a small profit beyond the original amount..

It's not as good as I originally thought, but what can I do?.

‘Just successfully absorbing the essence is enough benefit..’

There will be another opportunity to make money.

In the end, the biggest reason I came to this place was for growth..

In that respect, this plan could be said to have been very successful..

This is a story about when we escaped safely..

-from here to the left.

Abel went south for some distance and then turned slightly west..

They deliberately avoided areas where a lot of giant fragments live..

It would be a bit of a turnaround, but it was much better than engaging in combat..

However, despite such efforts, after traveling for about 2 hours, we encountered the enemy..

-There are wild dogs ahead.!

A wild dog is not a real wild dog..

It is a fragment of a titan commonly called a black wolf, and was classified as the lowest of the low class..

But the problem was the number.

-Looks like over 40!

forty.

At that level, no matter how weak each item was, it was bound to be a threat..

-ready to engage!

Everyone raised their weapons nervously and waited for the distance to get closer..

But something strange happened.

-No, they're running away.!

A pack of wild dogs passed by Abel and the rest of the group..

As soon as the jackal saw it, he said to Abel:.

-You have to turn right away.

-Sure. Go straight east!

Abel immediately accepted the jackal's opinion and gave instructions..

There was no way a group of forty animals could have run away after seeing only a few Gigants..

Wild dogs are famous for their very aggressive tendencies..

In other words, it was reasonable to believe that there was another reason for wild dogs to run away..

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure-!

Not long after I turned east and started running, I heard a huge roar..

Abel turned his head and was able to immediately confirm his identity..

far away.

A giant of enormous size was walking..

The giant had a hazy fog surrounding it, and the fog could be seen spreading in real time..

‘Is that fog interfering with observation?.’

If so, it was natural that I didn't notice its existence until I got this close..

To avoid attracting the giant's attention, Abel gave instructions by only waving his arms..

It was a sound I made while running, but I couldn't help it..

Couuuuuuuuck! Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

Fortunately, the giant walked in one direction without even giving a glance..

They rode in silence for nearly thirty minutes before stopping, even after the giant was out of sight..

-Huh, wow. Now that's the limit.

-I think I need to take a break soon.

The jackal and the vice-captain were talking at the same time as if they were teaming up..

Abel also answered while taking a deep breath..

-Phew, that's right. Although it is a little risky, we take turns resting. Don't come out of Gigant..

-yes.

To prepare for such a situation, we decided on a resting schedule in advance..

Abel also immediately fixed the Gigant to the floor and stopped operating it..

“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…….”

I felt like my heart was going to explode.

Even though it didn't actually run on two legs, piloting a Gigant originally required a lot of stamina..

-The energy of the giant that passed by earlier was unusual..

At that time, Rufus spoke to me..

He doesn't really talk much. Except when Abel called or when he needed it, he rarely spoke first..

The reason Rufus talked so much was probably because there were so many interesting things to do..

“Is it that much??”

-okay. It can't even be compared to the guys I encountered before..

Abel thought deeply and nodded..

“Even when seen from afar, it didn't look ordinary..”

-okay. If he had to fight it, he would have told his master to run straight away..

“I also have no intention of fighting such a monster too hard. The problem is that the guy I saw earlier is not everything..”

The number of giants I heard about was three..

If we assume that the one we saw earlier is one of the dogs, it means that there are still two left..

It cannot be said that we are out of danger yet..

“Whoa whoa.”

Abel took a long breath and relaxed..

It seems like every time I think things are going well, I end up scattering ashes, but is there anything I can do about it?.

The situation is not going to get better by lamenting about it..

‘It's not like we're the only ones in the red hall anyway..’

Abel composed himself and rested for five more minutes..

As always, break time passed quickly..

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

Abel, who activated the Gigant again, moved with the mercenaries..

The movement formation remained the same, but the speed was decided to be reduced..

We decided to stock up on stamina in case we encounter another giant..

So the group ran hard..

Run and run again.

When a sweet smell came out of my mouth, I took a short break and ran again..

Because resting is not resting, physical strength continued to decline, but no one fell behind..

Fortunately, such efforts did not betray the party..

Thanks to traveling with less rest time, we arrived at our destination much faster than originally expected..

But when they arrived at their destination, they encountered another unexpected sight..

-Leave the wounded behind! move back!

-Ahhhhh!

shout. scream. Roaring and bursting sounds.

Unusual sounds struck my eardrums through the gigant, and as I climbed to the top of the hill, I was literally in despair..

The fragments of the giant flock endlessly.

The giants standing tall among them. And even a group of Gigants holding a line to stop it..

-oh my god.

The jackal's murmur represented everyone's feelings..
